The Best.

There is an advertisement in the
Examiner this week of remedy that
is superior to all others, and as nearly
all disease owes its origin to the i'm
pure condition of the blood, this is by
far the best preparation ever offered
to the trade. 1t purifes and en-
riches the blood, gives tone and
energy to the system, builds. up
broken-down constitutions, and gives
strength and energy to the feeble and
debilitated. Werefer to S, S. S., and
will say that this notice is cheerfully
given them, unsolicited on their part.
Abingdon Va.) Examiner.
Swift's Specific is now sold in dry
form as well as liquid. The dry can
easily be prepared at home, and can
be used without spirits if desired.
Price fifty cents per package. Sent
by mail on receipt of price. Some of
the most wonderful cures have been
made by using the remedy without
any spirits at all.
There is no longer any ground for
hesitancy on the part of the reader.
Swift's Specific reaches all diseases
arising from an impure and vitiated
condition of the blood. Exhaustive

MAN.

What queer combination of cheek and
perversity,
Insolence, pride, CAB, impudence, vanity,
Jealousy, hate, scorn, baseness, insanity,
Honor, truth, wisdom, virtue, urbanity
Is that whimsical biped called man
Who can fathom the depths of his innate
depravity?
Today he's all gayety, tomorrw all gravity
For blowing his own horn he has propen-
sity,
Even under clouds of singular density,
OH mystical clay-bank called man!
He can be the source of beastly brutality,
Be modest and meek, or indulge in hilarity,
Don airs and graces of sanity totality,
Or equal the devil in daring rascality,
This curious enigma called man.

she insisted that our babe should bear
it. Madeline was very much wrap
ped up in Pegram, often l thought
too much so, for there were many
times when l should have been very
glad of my wife's society, but was
obliged to do without it because she
was entirely occupied with Pegram.
To be sure, my wife's sister was with
us, and there was a child'snurse but,
for all that, Madeline was so complete
ly Pegramized, that great many
hours which 1, in my anticipations of
matrimonial felicity, had imagined
would be passed in the company of
my wife, were spent alone, or with
the old gentleman, or Belle.
Belle was a fine girl to me not so
charming and attractive as her sister,
but perhaps equally so to some other
persons, certainly to one. This was
Will Crenshaw, an old school-fellow
of mine, then civil engineer, in
South America. Will was the de-
clared sutton of Belle, though she had
never formally accepted him, but
Madeline and myself both strongly
favored the match, and felt very
anxious that she should do so, and in
deed were quite certain that when
Will should return everything would
be made all right. Theyoung engin-
eer was capital fellow, had excellent
prospects, and was my best friend.
1t was our plan that after their mar
riage the youthful couple should live
with us. This, of course would be
delightful to both Belle and her sis
ter, and / could desire no better COM
panion than Will. He was not to 60
to distant countries any more, and
who could imagine pleasanter home
than ours would be.
And now here was this dreadful
prospect of household ghost

Sun and Earth.

The volume of the sun is about one
million three hundred THOUSAND
TIMES that of the earth. To give
some idea of this difference let us
make few comparisons of some fa-
miliar objects. For instance let the
sun be represented by a man weigh
ing one hundred and ninety pounds.
In a pound avoirdupois there are
seven thousand grains, and this multi
piled into one hundred and ninety
gives us one million three hundred
and thirty thousand. Now a grain
may be represented by the kernal of
wheat, which was, in fact, the origin
al of the grain weight. So you have
on the one hand the sun represented
by large man, and on the other, the
earth by grain of wheat. 1.-THE sun
were vain of hiscomplexiOn he might
wear little black patch on his chin
little larger perhaps than the earth.
Or the earth might bea very small
horse fly, sitting on his bald pate.
The earth would not be half large
enough to make the sun collar but
ton. A man may gain three to five
pounds a week. Should the sun in
crease his weight in like ratio it
would take hundred such bodies as
our earth to make him breakfast.
If the sun were taking medicine the
earth, sugar-coated, would be only a
very small pill. Put a mustard seed
by a pumpkin, take an apple and
prick it with a needle, and you will
have further illustrations Of what
those figures mean.
